The Data Pack Dilemma

Data packs, I’ve explained what they are in a previous post about Android: Netrunner but basically they are small expansion packs to the game.

With data packs you seem to have two options:

Buy all the data packs to get up to date with the meta. Your local meta or the netdeck meta.

Don’t buy the data packs just yet and play with what you have.

I’m torn because I already love Netrunner and want to play as much as possible but I don’t want to drop all the cash straight away. I feel that if I were to go to my local game stores I’d need all the data packs to stay current yet I also feel that one could play with the core set for weeks or months before needing to get data packs if I stick with playing house-mates and friends.

I may have already made my decision by picking up the first three packs but I’m still torn as to when I pick up more.
